HR or B-RD
Had this happen last night
I'm PU, no runners. Pitch driven to deep CF. Balls goes over CF head as he leaps to make catch. Ball goes over fence, in my belief after bouncing on the field side of the fence. I give BRD
I didn't have the best angle to see it. By the time I picked it up and was ready to make a ruling (catch/no catch, etc) i was only just off the HP dirt area and unfortunetly straight lined to the ball bouncing. I was 100% sure it bounce before the fence and bounded over, of course batting team thought it went over, coaches from each team didn't say anything.
BU didn't have anything, as he was watching touch at first.
Any tips in this situation to get a better look or any tips for BU also, maybe watch flight of ball and pick up touch later (if timing allows)
As i said it was driven hard, lot a lazy pop fly. My reaction was find ball off bat, clear catcher (while removing mask) and get a couple steps into play.
Thanks, flame away
